CodyTalks at the...140 conference NYC 2011

"How the Internet is like a Small Town"...Twitter is coffee shop of the world... the whole world can now know about the good or bad thing you did just like it's always happened at the small town coffee shop.

Ok so it's a he said/ she said, right? and I don't freaking know the answer but I will give you my thoughts.

I am taking the side of....

The Fence!!

Not that I don't have an opinion or that I am scared to state it. I do have a very strong opinion, I think both sides are right and both sides are wrong.

I do think:

global Warming is an issue.

I don't think:

it is a big enough issue to potentially devastate peoples budgets over. (I don't know if not having coal plants will do that but most of our senate thinks it will)

I do think:

wind is the obvious choice for future energy expansions.

I don't think:

wind is happening fast enough to completely ignore any advancements in using coal.

I do think:

in the long run wind (just the wind , not the windmills and transmission lines, I know that!!) is free and has to be cheaper over several years than coal.

I don't think:

the initial expense and expanses of land needed for wind farms to be able to support utility needs makes it feasible to say all we need is wind.

I do think:

The best scenario here from the facts I know is to move forward with coal plants and then push so hard and fast on wind so that we never need to build another coal plant ever again. Unless we have to... :)

I don't think anyone is right or wrong,

I know for a Damn fact that more good would get accomplished if our system wasn't so set on a "I am right and you are wrong" mentally. That's another post.

"The secretary shall not in the exercise of powers and duties, except as provided below, promulgate any rule and regulation, or issue any order or take any other action under any provision of the Kansas air quality act or other provision of law, that is more stringent, restrictive or expansive than required by the federal clean air act..."

As I understand it, the bill requires the Secretary of Health and Environment to receive legislative approval before undertaking any action which enforces stronger standards than the federal Clean Air Act. That seems to me like a big overreaction to a decision that would have been litigated regardless of what Secretary Bremby did.

I don't live in KS but I think Windmills are great. Why not use coal it is in America? One area in my state charged people for using windmills as back-up for electricity. Another area where someone I know built a green heating system thinking it would pay for itself (by saving on electric) sadly the electric company is not doing that. How did it turn out for you?
